Sourdough Pizza Crust

Sourdough Pizza Crust

From: Cultures for Health)

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups *fresh sourdough starter
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil, coconut oil, etc.
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1¼ to 1¾ cups flour
  • (*We recommend using sourdough starter that has been fed three times 4 to 12 hours apart prior to making the pizza crust.)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 500°F.
  • Mix together the fresh sourdough starter, one tablespoon of oil, the salt and 1¼ cups of flour. Add more flour, a little at a time, as needed to form a pizza dough consistency. The amount of flour needed will depend on the hydration level of your sourdough starter (the flour-to-water ratios used when feeding the starter).
  • Allow the dough to rest for 30 minutes as it will be easier to roll out. (It won’t rise significantly, if at all.)
  • Roll the dough out into a circle using a minimum amount of flour to prevent sticking.
  • Bake the crust for approximately 7 minutes.
  • Remove the crust from the oven and brush oil to prevent the toppings from soaking into the crust and making it soggy.
  • Add the desired toppings and bake the pizza until the crust browns and the cheese melts.
